New Jackson (Deansgate Square), New Jackson

What is New Jackson?

New Jackson (formerly known as Great Jackson Street) is a burgeoning skyscraper district at the southern end of Deansgate. It is dominated by the Deansgate Square towers, which include the South Tower—currently the tallest building in the UK outside of London. The area features sleek glass facades, modern public squares, and a distinct futuristic feel.

Why Shoot Here?

• Scale and Height: The sheer height of the towers is awe-inspiring. Use a wide-angle lens to capture them from the ground looking up.
• Glass Reflections: The glass exteriors of the buildings reflect the clouds and the changing light of the day, creating dynamic patterns.
• Modern Public Realm: The squares and walkways around the base of the towers are beautifully designed with modern street furniture and lighting.
• Sunset Shots: The towers catch the late afternoon light beautifully, glowing orange and gold as the sun sets over the city.
